Review on πŸ”Œ 65W Portable Mini Charger for Microsoft Surface Pro 3 4 5 6 2017 Tablet/Surface Laptop/Surface Book/Surface Go - Includes 6.6ft Power Cord, USB Charging Port by Paarvin Freedman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good compact travel charger but nothing is perfect

I bought this as a replacement charger for my Surface Pro 6. I always leave my original charger plugged into an outlet at home. So I can just come home, unplug and start charging. I mainly use it as a travel charger as it is much smaller compared to the Microsoft charger. In terms of charging speed, it is about the same as the OEM charger. Both have a maximum output of around 24W as listed in the Battbar Pro addon. Its power is rated as a 65W charger, but I think SP6 limits it so you don't charge too fast and overheat your computer. There's no trackpad clutter like many other third-party manufacturers. What I noticed is the low level of static noise when using headphones. Also, it interferes a bit with the stylus interface, so it disables palm rejection. That means it's no problem if you're just writing with the Microsoft pen, but if you first place your palm on the screen you won't be able to write. For reference, the mouse I see in the picture is a Logitech Mx Anywhere 2s. Pros: - Charger much smaller than Microsoft One - Charges just as fast - Magnet on plug is just as strong - Comes with soft cloth caseCon: low static noise when using headphones, disables palm rejection when using pens, cable is not the same length as a Microsoft charger.
